If you want something that is similar but looks better and more mature, check out Mint (mint-lang.com - I'm the author)

Surprised I haven't seen this before. This looks quite good! I love the store, router and batteries default inclusion!
8 years and haven't hit 1.0, that's a bit of torture, no?
In the last 8 years, we had two kids and I have a full-time job, so Mint was/is a side project with virtually no marketing.
Yes, it is a bit of torture :) however I'm getting there. Context (https://mint-lang.com/news/context) was the last bigger feature before 1.0 which I'm planning to release this year.
I'm giving it a look but I can't really figure out much about the type system and how does it compare to TypeScript.
- The type system documentation is here: https://mint-lang.com/reference/types/type-system - in short it's a functional language at heart with a Hindley–Milner type system
- TypeScript syntax comparison is here: https://mint-lang.com/from/typescript
- The feature matrix which compares languages features is here: https://mint-lang.com/feature-matrix
I hope you find those helpful :)
Thank you, wonder why I couldn't find them.
edit: by the way TypeScript supports both ADTs (through tagged unions) as well as exhausting pattern matching (on tagged unions, but an alternative can be using `instanceof`).

This looks really well thought out
